    Tia didn’t wait for Audrey to reply.


    She spoke with a nagging tone, “Audrey, please persuade your grandfather. We really don’t want to ruin his reputation, and


    yours, by bringing this onto the show. He’s a university professor, isn’t he? Won''t his reputation as an educator be tarnished if


    this blows up?”


    Audrey''s face darkened, “What do you want?”


    “| heard professors are given houses by the university. Ask your grandfather to transfer a house to your brother Adam. If not, buy


    him a vi in Sheysea and a car worth half a million dors. The car isn’t our demand. It’s what the bride’s family wants.”Original content from N?velDrama.Org.


    Tia continued, “They''re also asking for a wedding gift of 660 thousand dors. Your mother was your grandfather''s only child.


    Now that she’s gone, he only has Adam.


    “Everything your grandfather owns should belong to Adam. If he’s holding onto his wealth so Adam doesn’t inherit what''s


    rightfully his, your mother would be turning in her grave!”


    Audrey replied in a calm voice, “You tortured my birth mother to death! If Mr. Lambert helps you, she will never rest in peace.”


    “Give me the phone!” bellowed Wayne Yeomans, Audrey''s biological father. He couldn’t contain his anger and snatched the


    phone.


    He spat insultingly, “Audrey! Am | being too nice to you? Don’t think | can’t see that you’re keeping Mr. Lambert from seeing


    Adam so you can monopolize the house and money for yourself. That old man’s house and money belong to Adam. If you dare


    covet them, I''ll kill you!”


    “Bullshit! When she was 12, we received a five thousand dor deposit from Jolin Watson’s family. But your sister couldn’t bring


    Audrey back, and | had to pay them 600 dors to settle it!”


    Donna interrupted Wayne, “This time, we got 30 thousand dors from ude, promising to bring Audrey back to bear his


    children. If you kill her, we’ll have topensate him, and he’s not someone to mess with!”


    “Her life is mine to take. If | want her dead, she has no right to live. That’s just how it is!” Wayne yelled at Donna.


    He told Audrey, “Call that old man right now. If he doesn’t transfer the house to Adam, send us the money, and buy him the car,


    lil kill you. You’re nothing but a shameless, greedy wretch coveting your brother’s inheritance!”


    Wayne''s voice was sinister and nasty. He sounded as vicious as Audrey remembered him being when he beat her and her


    mother in the cer, a stark contrast to the usual fagade of kindness he showed


    others.


    “It seems you haven''t had enough prison food in seven years! Killing me will be your death sentence! If you take 30 thousand


    dors from ude to sell me, that’s human trafficking. If you seed, there

    will be consequences!”

    Having obtained the recording she needed, Audrey decided not to engage with her family further. She hung up the phone.
